Paterno "crying continually through the night". Selfish behavior oh poor me I have been disgraced. What about the 45 victims who cried themselves to sleep and hide to live with what was done to them.
What did Paterno in was that he was from the old school. I remember my grandparents used to tell me that in their days it was all about protect the family name first and keep your family business in house at all costs. They would tell me if being a victim brought your family's business to the neighborhood then you just have to live with happened to you. In those times you didn't call the police, you didn't get divorced, you didn't see a therapist. You just prayed and asked God for the strength. My girlfriend's grandparents were together for like 60 years but they were hardly in love with each other. Straight old school relationship. Keep up a good front around the family, sleep in twin beds and her grandfather made all of the final decisions. My girlfriend said her grandmother used to confide in only her about that stuff.
